I'm dealing with dandruff and someone suggested I try KZ lotion. Can you tell me how to use it properly? Like, should I apply it a few hours before showering, and does my hair need to be dry or wet when applying it? Also, do I need to use any oil beforehand?

CreamGelLotion: Wash and dry the infected area of the skin. Take a small amount of creamgellotion on the finger and gently rub on the clean and dry affected area and surrounding skin. It is only for external use. Avoid contact of creamgellotion with the nose, mouth, or eyes. In case it comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Wash your hands before and after using creamgellotion if hands are not the affected area to prevent the spread of infection.Shampoo: Wash your hair with the shampoo and leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes. Then, rinse thoroughly with water.

You can use it but further evaluation is required to rule out cause of pigmentation,visit your Dermatologist for appropriate treatment and take well balanced diet and stay hydrated.

I've been struggling with these rashes that keep coming back even though I'm following my dermatologist's treatment. The meds worked at first but now I'm still getting rashes during the course and once it's done, it's back again. I've taken so many medicines over the last few months, and I'm worried if I'm missing something. How can I clear these allergies completely from my body?
